The world’s transportation innovation center now has the US’s second worst traffic congestion, after Los Angeles. Given a myriad of colliding and conflicting change vectors--robocars, robotaxi last mile systems, mobility as a service, smartphone ridesharing, low-cost robotic van transit, electric scooters, road/parking pricing, transit improvements, state climate policy, gentrification, and voter sentiment--how will everything settle out?
